Pam shares that she was never a runner growing up, and she hated running even when playing softball. However, she started walking regularly with a friend, and when her brother started running and lost a lot of weight, she decided to try it as well. She and her friend signed up for a 5k race and ran the whole way, which was a great feeling for Pam. She continued to run and walk regularly, and with the help of a gym coach, she learned how to prevent shin splints. Pam started doing 5k and 10k races and eventually decided to do a half marathon in Maui in 2011, which she completed successfully.

Pam talks about her running experiences, including her favorite races and advice for new runners. Pam emphasizes the importance of discipline over motivation when it comes to running and encourages runners not to compare themselves to others. Her goal is to complete 200 half-marathons by her 50th birthday. Pam's favorite distance to run is the half marathon because she has done many of them and knows how to pace herself. When she's not running, Pam enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with her family, friends, and dogs. She also shares her mantra, which is "one day you won't be able to do this, but today is not that day," and emphasizes that running is a privilege.
